19Labs Featured in Observer for Groundbreaking Telehealth Work in Guyana

We are thrilled to share that 19Labs has been prominently featured in Observer in an article by Arick Wierson, a six-time Emmy® Award-winning television executive and former adviser to New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg. The article, titled "How a Silicon Valley Startup’s Experiment in Guyana Can Inform U.S. Healthcare," spotlights our innovative efforts to transform healthcare delivery in one of the world's most remote regions.

Our work in Guyana’s Hinterland—a vast, dense rainforest covering over 90% of the country—demonstrates how cutting-edge telehealth solutions can overcome seemingly insurmountable challenges. By deploying a networked telemedicine platform, we’ve connected local healthcare workers in isolated villages with specialists and doctors nationwide, ensuring that even the most remote communities can access quality care.

 

Wierson highlights how our work in Guyana serves as a beacon of hope for the country and offers valuable lessons for improving rural healthcare in the United States.
